Osterburg Keep

With the best hiking weather, 😉 it actually stopped raining when we started walking..... then at the end again with 🌧, but that didn't detract from the whole thing.
We started in Weida at the church, then along the Weida (river) on paths that didn't deserve the name 😃 through forest and fields back to Weida to the Osterburg.

Through the garden of the Osterburg 🏰 over the Paulinenhöhe further into the Aumatal 🌱 🌊 and through Weida back to the foot of the Osterburg. There is a nice little café called the Spezerei.

Nice circular route, start is the Osterburg. Then many paths lead into the valley. The route can be extended at will, up to the Aumatalsperre. Paths are well signposted but moderately maintained. Not suitable for prams etc.
